Crx2Oak Migration tool Concepts and Demo

 Crx2Oak helps migrate data from older CQ versions based on Apache Jackrabbit 2 to Oak, and it can also be used to copy data between Oak repositories.

The tool can be used for:

• Migrating from older CQ 5 versions to AEM 6
• Copying data between multiple Oak repositories
• Converting data between different Oak MicroKernel implementations. (S3DataStore to FileDataStore)

Some of its features are

• The migration can be interrupted at any time, with the possibility to resume it afterwards.
• Custom Java logic can also be implemented using CommitHooks.
• CRX2Oak also supports memory mapped operations by default. Memory mapping greatly improves performance
